This recipe makes use of the inexpensive beef shank, but you can use another cut of beef, if you like. Oxtail would work nicely. This recipe is made in a pressure cooker, but you could use a Dutch oven on the stove top, or a slow cooker (directions included).

Caribbean Beef Barley Soup With Vegetables

A delicious, hearty soup that is full of flavor. I chose the stove top method, since I don't have a pressure cooker and did not plan ahead in order to use the slow cooker. However, I think the long cooking time on the stove top resulted in a very rich flavorful broth. At this time of year, my supermarket does not carry beef shanks, so I had to use short ribs instead. When the soup was finished, I removed the meat from the bones and shredded it before adding back to the soup. I also could not find fava beans, so I substituted a 15 oz. can of butter beans. While this took a bit of time to cook, my patience was definitely rewarded. I can't wait to make this again. Made by a Tasty Tester for ZWT9.
